A Comparison of Interoperability Architectures within Object Oriented Multi-User Domains

Abstract

MUDs (Multi-User Domains/Dungeons) are multi-user, text-based, networked computer environments, in which users can interact with each other in a type of text based virtual reality. While traditionally used for text based adventure games, or social worlds, MUDs are increasing being used as the backbone for Computer Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW) or Anchor Desk Systems. Within the military domain Anchor Desks provide a single contact point for specialist areas (for example, logistics or intelligence, etc.) within a military organization. This paper explores the issues of interoperability between MOOs (Object Oriented MUD), and describes three different prototyped techniques for MOO Interoperability.
